WatchMon CORE 

Introducing the next generation of WatchMonCORE supervisor. We have made a new model, a stronger WM4...a better 4... now shall be named "WatchMon-CORE". This revamp is taking the lessons we have learnt from WM4 and building on this proven platform with a few new features.  Moving forward this will be the CORE building block that additional components will link to this supervisor in the future. 

Overview

• Versatile Supervisor works with both distributed and centralised cell monitors
  
• User-configurable parameters and control logic
• Configurable 30vdc 5A relay  (i.e. remote circuit breaker trip, contactor or fan)
• Additional inputs/outputs via Expansion Board purchased separately
• Compatible with all Expansion Board (series 1, 2, or 3)
• Clock with a backup battery
• data logging of key metrics for 10 years
• firmware upgrades via USB
• 4 stage display of State of Charge (SoC%) 
• External ambient temperature sensor
• Easy to use pluggable screw-terminal connectors
• Link to Shuntmon with 500A or 1000A power rating 

Remote Communication

• TestMon - checks and confirms your wiring
  
• Expansion board
• 500A or 1000A Shunt monitor
• TestMon16
  
• Extra Support - email fair use is included free but if you need more help you can buy upfront or later on an as-needed basis via Zoom or similar.

Optional Expansion Board (series 3) details

• 3 x Mechanical 30Vdc 5A relay outputs
• 3 x Solid state relay SSR 65vdc 5A isolated modules outputs
• 2 x Isolated inputs 5-65vdc sensor channel
• 2 x ADC 0-5vdc (future development option)
• 1 x RS485 Serial port (future development option)
• 1 x Remote Addressable LED (future development option)
• Compatible with all supervisors

Mounting a Fan

CellMate-K9 has been designed to allow a 60mm Fan to be mounted to enhance balancing performance if the customer desires. 

*Fan and standoffs are not supplied.

• M3 screws to mount Hex standoffs to the CellMate-K9
• Standoffs should be 30mm height in order to clear the heat sink.
• Fan hole centers are 60mm apart.
• Fan power can be triggered by the logic of the WatchMon CORE 
• Adopt one of the Relay/SSR to switch the fan power.
• Fan selection is a customer choice, Voltage (12,24,48,5V) etc.
• The fan is not to be powered from the onboard 5V DC-DC of the WatchMon CORE
